During Bush's speech, Code Pink held up banners "Bring the troops home" and shouted. Police immediately took them away. After that another group shouted, they were taken away. 2 more protests following that. Members of the audience appluaded the police actions, shouted "USA USA," and some through snowballs while other people tried to block cameras from covering the protesters. Public radio noted this very briefly, and the CNN noted and covered none of it as far as we can tell. AP Photo

Marches will mark Bush inauguration

An anti-Bush group named after Jan. 20 -- j20, an anti-inauguration organizing collective -- expects more than 1,000 marchers to converge downtown in a "lively and raucous" protest, said Elsie Will, a spokeswoman for the group.

They are planning three marches. The first begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Oregon Convention Center and continues along Burnside Street to the North Park Blocks. The next march, expected to be the largest, starts at 4 p.m. at 616 East Burnside St. and finishes at the North Park Blocks. The third march is to start at 4:30 p.m. at the North Park Blocks and disband at Chapman Square.

The j20 organizers are urging protestors to remain nonviolent, but some of the marchers plan to engage in two intentionally illegal acts of civil disobedience at two undisclosed locations, she said.

Anti-war protesters mourn those killed in Iraq

About 300 people rallied in a park several miles from the Capitol, where George W. Bush was taking the oath of office for a second term.

"Worst President Ever" and "Four more years: God HELP America" were on some of the signs. Protesters covered hundreds of cardboard boxes with black cloth and American flags to symbolize U.S. troops and others killed in Iraq.

Inauguration: Protests

At the Black Tie and Boots Ball, a Texas-based event, protesters braved the cold last night and heckled guests as they arrived for the party. One held a sign "Make War, Not Jobs." Others shouted "People are dying, enjoy your champagne."

Thousands of protesters in other cities across the US plan demonstrations and rallies against the returning administration.

Large protests are expected in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle. And rallies are also planned in dozens of smaller communities.
